Raddichio

The rugged texture of radicchio holds up very well to roasting. This makes a fantastic side to roast chicken.

Serves: 8

Ingredients

8 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper

4 heads raddichio cut in half

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

Combine garlic, olive oil, thyme, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until foamy. Add radicchio, toss well, cover and let soak at room temperature for at least one hour. Preheat oven to 425 F. Arrange the radicchio on a baking sheet and pour remaining dressing over the heads. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until radicchio starts to get crisp. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese.
